The members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia (ICAA) and the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA) have voted to approve a proposal to merge the two bodies. The new body, to be called ‘Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand’ is expected to be formally constituted by April 2014 and will have over 90,000 members, and a further 17,000 provisional members.
